Fit the Fourth

The stress ball again - I don't think it works in terms of relieving stress,
but it is fun to play with.

Hey ho, hey ho, and off to work I go.

It turned out that being dirty didn't matter much for a cement mixer... because
I got promoted! Mind you, I fell into bed as soon as I got back. REALLY hard
work.

When I got up again, later that evening, there appeared to be two Zacks as
well. Maybe he was really an alien who could replicate himself!

None of the others seemed to be aware of the duplicates.

I asked Zack himself. He said he didn't know but anything was possible....
for a Beta Reticulan.

"Don't be silly, your skin isn't green," said Trinny. "Nor was
your blood when you cut yourself shaving last week."

"No," he laughed and explained patiently. "It's Vulcans that
have green blood. And THEY are fictional! I'm not Vulcan, I am Beta Reticulan."

Everyone disliked going into the bedroom. I don't think two unmade beds are
so awful really. There were a few plates and dirty clothes I suppose. but the
worst thing was the smell of Mal's feet. That really was terrible. I got in
the habit of opening all the windows when I went in. Jock really hated it and
eventually banished Mal to sleep on the couch instead.
